Continuum Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications

Looking for more opportunities to get profound knowledge in Continuum Mechanics? Join our course!

The Master's Degree Program Continuum Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications is aimed to prepare masters, who are able to formulate and solve a wide range of problems arising in various fields of contin-uum mechanics – both of mechanics of solids and fluids, with focus on interdisciplinarity, in strong connection with engineering applications in hi-tech and advanced manufacturing technologies – in the spirit of the STEM Education concept aimed at obtaining 21st century skills in science, technology, engi-neering, and mathematics.

Mechanics and Applied Mathematics in Natural Sciences and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies: blocks of lectures given by leading scientists from European and USA universities on various topics in mechanics and applied mathematics - 6 ECTS;

Research and Modeling Seminar - all students are given a problem-project to solve either individually or in minigroups, and the results are then discussed altogether - 16 ECTS;

Mechanics and Applied Mathematics in Sciences and Technologies: blocks of lectures given by leading scientists from European and USA universities on various topics in mechanics and applied mathematics - 8 ECTS;

mentoring and scientific guidance from prominent professors of the Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University

lectures delivered by recognized scientists from the Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering of Russian Academy of Science that is one of the leading research institutions in the field of mechanics of materials, and invited professors from top world universities;

interdisciplinarity, which is a current trend in mechanics, and the program topics include phase transformations, mechanochemistry, biological systems etc.;

deep learning of basic subjects of continuum mechanics supplemented by development of mathematical background;

the graduates will obtain the skills and develop critical thinking which are necessary to do both fundamental and applied research, using theoretical and computational mechanics of solids, gas and fluids in one pack, and, thus, beneficial for prospective international career;

extensive experience in research and teaching;

broad international contacts, which we are eager to share with our students for their future career;

cross-cultural studies and extracurricular activities at SPbPU;

scholarships to study abroad in English in one of the European partner universities (a se-mester or a summer school).
